Dang. I really like all the cop cars. Where did you get the lights to make them all? Or did they come like that? You like fast cop cars, don't you?:smile:

The lights came off of the Maisto Impala (NYPD) . Most of the cop cars I do end up on Ebay to get some extra $$$$ .

So you took them off of the Impala, but how did you make so many, with just one car? Do you have like a ton of them or something? I'm not really following you.

For every car I turn into a police car, I buy a police car(either a Maisto Impala or a UT Caprice) for its parts. Sometimes,depending on the car, I'll use the police items from a 1/24 scale model kit. I then strip down the police car and sell it as an "unmarked" police car, and use the lightbar & other items on the car I'm modifying. 90% of the time, I break even or make more $$$$ on the unmarked police car then the original purchase price of it. The decals I get from hobby shops, and I can make 3 cars per sheet .

Yeah, there isn't a headlight on the left side of the Enzo.

Where did you get the wheels for the Chevelle? Did you have to change out the whole chasis, or just the wheels? Thanks. All of your cars look sweet.

The wheels are from the Yat Ming 57 Gasser Corvette. They're glued on. I had to cut some of the chassis out in the rear for the wheels to fit.

Heres some recent customs, the police cars are on Ebay.

Very nice customs once again. Everything looks clean. Have you thought about working some new rims onto that hummer?

I took a AA Diablo SV & roadster apart. I switched both the front & rear axles from both cars. I never lowered them, so I can't help you with that.

Nice work. I think i've seen some of it on ebay.
How did you get the wheels on the maisto jaguar? I tried it with a mustang before and only managed the rear set.

Maisto wheels can be tricky sometimes. The Jag though was easy, the wheels just came right off without any major prying.
